yendiRFTC makes dealing with bullshit much easier.
In other news, Disney has announced that my favorite animated movie from the studio, Mulan, is getting the two-disc special edition treatment. As long as they do it without fucking up the coloring (Beauty and the Beast, anyone), I'm ecstatic. No word on the features yet. I'm hoping for an extra Lea Salonga song or two, commentary tracks, and a video of Michael Eisner on his knees begging forgiveness for the craptactular way he turned a once-great studio into a second-rate direct-to-video sequel house.
Oh, and the rest of V is coming out on DVD, too. Robert Englund underacting instead of overacting! Lane Smith before he became "Chief!" Marc Singer wearing a shirt (thank god). Faye Grant, Jane Badler, and June Chadwick, um, just being there!
Oh, and a small ray of hope for Wonderfalls.
Over on Fox (the Cancellation Network), Andy Richter is getting another chance to get cancelled. If Quintuplets is a tenth as good as Andy Richter Controls the Universe, it'll be a hundred times better than anything else on Fox (Sunday nights excluded).
And this Sunday is the season finale of Arrested Development, currently the best half hour on television. Fox will no doubt cancel it, since it's too highbrow for 'em, so catch it while you can (dammit, I need my Portia de Rossi fix, and I refuse to watch reruns of Single Female Lawyer).
Finally, my Tivo hates me. It recorded Halloween: The Curse of Michael Meyers last night, so I gave it another try. Say what you want about the super-hyped movies that came after it, or the b-movies that came earlier, nothing is as bad as this one. With the nonsensical Celtic conspiracy theory, ludicrously pointless murders (hey, let's have Michael go all the way to the town square just to murder one person!), horrible acting (including Paul Rudd's phoned-in performance), it's the silliest damned film in the series, and a royally shitty way for Donald Pleasance to have ended his career.

Date: 2004-04-21 09:33 am (UTC)Re, all the TV, I have pretty much given up on the networks keeping shows I like, or putting decent ones on again.
My question is why do these people, Andy Richter, Seth Mcfarlane, Tim Minear keep going back to Networks that they know will crush their shows?
